NEW YEAR POST (?)
Late by two weeks, WHATEVER.
The following photos are late by like 3 months anyway.
I should probably stop being lazy and change my lj layout too. The red is starting to grate on my eyeballs. (Possibly this is a reaction to having bright neon yellow grate on my eyeballs from the long hours of playing P4?) HAHAHAHA I'LL MAKE THE NEXT LAYOUT PURPLE AND GOLD AND SARU-FULL ♥
My resolution for the new year is to draw more. And I did actually draw a bunch of things over the holidays (while dealing with visitors to the flat; I think in overall the inhabitants of the almost-penthouse had maybe one free week to themselves). But those'll be categorised into other posts because I want to sort (a) overdue con photos; (b) 'giri-pictures'/projectwork; (c) gintama crack; (d) musou crack and (e) Persona 4 fangirling.
This post will contain (a) overdue con photos and (e) Persona 4 fangirling.
FIRST THE FANGIRLING:
KANJI OMG KANJI. I LOVE HIS DESIGN AND HOW IT TOTALLY DOES NOT FIT WITH HIS REAL PERSONALITY AND HOW THEY MADE IT WORK AND BE CANON AND HOW HE KEEPS WANTING TO TOUCH FURRY AND CUTE THINGS AND SEWING CUTE THINGS. I-I so wanted to make Main Character (MC from now on) date him but you can only date girls, WRYYYYY. Maybe they already pushed the rating to its limit with his gay sauna dungeon.
Speaking of MC, DESPITE that my favourite favourite favourite character is Kanji, my OTP is probably MC x Yousuke. Yousuke x Chie is funny too, really. MC x Naoto was hilarious as well AND IT IS SO VERY WRONG that Naoto (a girl) looks better in male clothes than female. The whole "everyone becomes a megane when going into the TV!" situation was somehow made not as cliche as it would rightfully be.
OH OH ADACHI~ Adachi, you were so evil, but when you were not evil YOU WERE SO DUMB HAPLESS "OH HAY MC CABBAGE IS ON SALE AT THE GROCERY DEPARTMENT TODAY!" POLICEMAN MOEEEEE!!! ♥
mayonakatv is very alive with pretty fanart (and too many icons) and a whole lot of crack, as if the game itself didn't have enough crack. Am stalking it somewhat. My flatmate's a better stalker than I am, though.
Oh and I really really want the Tanaka's Amazing Commodities theme to use as my ringtone. orz
I'm almost done with the game, at Yomotsu Hirasaka right now - although I want to TRY to level to around 90, unless my patience gives out before then. Also, Izanami not only looks like a man, she sounds like a man too. Is this one of those Saiyuki-Kanzeon-Bosatsu-esque situations or was the English localization team trying to be politically correct, hmmm?
And now the overdue con pictures (October '08 MCM Expo).
It was a wet and windy day, absolutely freezing, we went to London Excel in our yukatas and geta (and it was a devil of a time going up and down the stairs in the tube in them, I might add). We eventually managed to locate the large Gintama group and begged our way into some group photos, although sadly all aforementioned group photos are with the (unknown, orz) members of the large Gintama group. There was a Gintoki, Eli, Ginpachi-sensei/Shinpachi/Kagura group and a Zura (who changed out before the group gathered D:), Takasugi, two Kaguras, a Kyuubei, an Okita and a Hijikata.
I was Paako, my lovely flatmate was Zurako, and oddly enough the kimono Zurako is wearing is mine and the yukata I'm wearing is hers. Wig was exceedingly painful (that is, because I have nonexistent skills in cosplay) to customize; and the colour of the ponytail extensions don't match the base colour of the wig if you look at them closely. Also I should probably have put more foundation on or something. I'm way too dark to be playing Paako. orz
There were other pictures but they were too horrible to be unleashed upon the public. Actually everything with me in it is pretty horrible so I'm not putting this on the comm. :x
Photographer: Boss; Zurako: underling; Paako: other underling; Gintoki: unknown(!!!), great cosplayer; Eli: unknown (!!!), good sport
Matching digging-ear poses; the Gintoki from the large group was a lot more photogenic than I was.
Ahahaha Eli. The guy had to bend down and roll up his jeans so that the desired hairy-leg effect could be produced; I bet he was shivering under the costume.
And last and maybe least: nose-digging into the Thames.
